I've noticed that the offending command line option is -r'300x300', but I've also found that this option allone is harmless. Perhaps there is some interaction between this option and the specific output driver being used. Im using 'cdj970' driver and I've tried both with the ghostscript-gnu-6.52_4.tgz package found in the /packages/print directory of the 4.5 FreeBSD CDROM and the ghostscript-afpl from the ports collection, which happened to install the 7.03 version. Both gave the same results. My system is a Pentium Pro 200MHz with 96 MB of ram. >How-To-Repeat: The following command line reproduces the problem cat some_ps_file | gs -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sDEVICE='cdj970' -r'300x300' \ -sPAPERSIZE='a4' -sOutputFile=- - > teste.pcl >Fix: Removing the -r'300x300' option from the command line solves the problem, as far as getting the apsfilter and the printing system to work, but the ghostscript problem is still there. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
